Hi, At Collabora (my lovely dayjob), we've been working with Valve on SteamOS. Valve are keen to give back to the community, and we've been discussing ways they can help do that, including providing free access to Valve games on Steam to Debian developers last year.
We're happy to say that this has been extended to Mesa developers as well, to say thanks for all the great work. If you have 25 commits or more (an arbitrary number) to Mesa[0] in the past five years, please drop me an email (with 'Steam' in the subject) with your freedesktop username and Steam username. We can then get you access to all past and future Valve-produced games available on Steam[1].
Thanks for all the great work, and enjoy.
Cheers, Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I'm not much of a gamer myself, but I imagine that these games would be useful, real-life tests and/or entertaining benchmarks. Given that I work mostly on ARM systems, do you know if there are any plans on making these games available on ARM? I know some of Valve's games have been ported to ARM for Android, but perhaps there isn't enough of an audience to make it beneficial to get them to run on regular Linux on ARM?

I don't actually know myself, but even if I did, it wouldn't really be for me to pre-empt Valve saying so. I agree it would be nice though!
